A Part Of My World I Have Not Shared - Today Is The Day To Do So

As I am sure you have noticed in the past, and also just recently this past month I have gone missing in action. Some of you also know the reason these disappearances occur, others do not - simply I have chosen not to post about personnel illness and/or happenings in my life. You may call this selfish, I choose not to. I choose to following the reasoning that this is a political blog and would like to keep it that way as much as possible. Well today, I am going to break my own rule and tell you all once and for all what has been and is happening and then move on with life. A couple of years back, I found quite a large tumor outside the rectal canal. "Ignore it" I said to myself it is nothing serious. Then a couple of days later, I felt a lump in my right side where most men would notice a lump say caused by possibly a hernia caused by heavy lifting. Right canuk - you just keep lying to yourself and living in your fantasy land and all will be right with the world. Thanks to my faith (and please remember faith is a personal choice that is not forced on others). New side effects, and the reason for my recent absence are now severely affecting my lungs and circulation to my legs, meaning those two ugly knock-kneed things I always despised to look at as a kid are still around to be the bane of my existence :-). Well here we are 1 1/2 years and more than can be counted chemotherapy and radiation treatments later and new problems are surfacing. I like to joke with my oncologists at the Cancer Center that they killed that damn old Republican elephant and left all its' crap behind to fertilize the Bush. Well my dear friends and readers enough about me. What I am asking of you today, is to pray with deep concern and urge you to do the same for the continued remission and successful treatment of the breast cancer that has been rumoured to have returned to strike the true hero of the John Edwards Presidential bid. Elizabeth Edwards , and as reported by ABC News. I will continue to keep you updated today regarding Ms. Edwards condition, and I would ask that you in return to offer whatever form of prayer you use to whatever higher power you believe in and give this wonderful loving, caring mother and John's love and companion the strength she will need to get through this nasty disease, (I just can't help getting a little political here), Damn it King George and the rest of you selfish morons start thinking about the lives that can be improved and outright saved if you stop your stubbornness over stem cell research. Please dear readers and friends pray harder than ever before for Elizabeth. And Elizabeth our hero keep up that fight you will overcome this in the end, I firmly believe that.
